Trying to save $ by doing my own glamorous wedding makeup. Any advice is welcome and appreciated!
Love this! My only cc (based on my personal preference) is that the eye shadow is blended a little too high in the outer corner. I would try a matte shadow (light brown/pink) in the crease before you apply the sparkly shade. Otherwise, I think this is great! I’d also recommend a setting spray for these summer months.
i’d recommend not bringing the shimmer shade so high up into your crease, a matte shade may be better for the crease. and also using a dark brown eyeshadow for your eyeliner can help soften things and it looks nice in photos too! the lips look nice and i’d add more blush too for photos (-: things always look more subdued in photography.
It looks great! The only thing I would say based on my own opinion is try adding a few more shades to add dimension to the eyes maybe a matte shade as a base and in the crease then the shimmer after. Also maybe try not bringing the colour so high in the outer corner of your eye but play around with this because everyone has different preferences with shapes and styles (some like a sharp “wing” look and some like a more blended one etc ) it’s up to personal preference
You look great! The only thing I can offer is while it might seem like a great idea to use lots of shimmer in your look, it can really play havoc with your photos. So if you’re having a photographer, and quality photos are something really important to you, avoid really glittery shimmery products or seek out ones that claim to have low flashback. Or at least experiment with your final look in a variety of lights and flashes. Phone camera flashes are not quite the same as professional photo lights and flashes, so something might look fine on your phone camera but weird with pro lights and setup.
Products used: elf poreless putty primer, Charlotte Tilbury shadow palette, Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter, ulta cheek stain stick, Laura Gellar highlight in gilded honey, Ardell lashes 110, elf wow brow, Maybelline falsises mascara, LA colors eye marker, iT cosmetics bye bye under eye concealer, Laura Mercier translucent setting powder, Josie Maran lip gloss in rosey, NYX dewy finish setting spray.
If you’re like me and you tend to get dark circles towards the end of the night, definitely recommend even a cheap color correcting concealer! Elf has one at target for i think $6. Also, my BIGGEST lifesaver for pores & shine has been airspun face powder from amazon, for $10! I like to apply concealers and then powder before my foundation because it’s the least product and i feel like it sticks to primer best. Last advice is eyebrow gel applied with a wand! I can’t tell if you used it but I recommend building with that over a pencil because it will really pull in your eyes and compliment whatever hairstyle you do.
You have such beautiful eyes that makeup will always compliment it, you got this! Hope this helps!

Can anyone recommend a shadow palette in rose gold or pinkish colors that are not shimmer?
You look beautiful! My only CC (based on my personal preference) is to swap the shimmer in your crease for a slightly darker matte shade. I’m a fan of smoking out the crease and outer corner with matte shades, starting dark in the crease and progressively getting lighter as you go outwards, and then applying shimmer straight on the lid only with my fingertips. Bring the same darker crease shades down and smoke out the lower lash line to avoid the slightly harsh shadow line on your top lid. Although if you like the harsher line of shadow on your top lid, maybe elongate your winged liner to follow the eyeshadow line (does that make sense?). Your face makeup looks great and I love the glossy lip. All of the colors compliment your eyes so well! All together you look beautiful, good luck on your big day. 🙂
